Milestones on the way
By year 13, the compounding really starts to show. Your total dividends collected reach $2,134 against a total investment of $25,600. At this point, your portfolio is throwing off $341 per year in dividends alone.
By year 17, the annual dividend climbs to around your initial contribution. For a starting investment of $10,000, the yearly dividend now sits at approximately $520, a powerful “income on autopilot” milestone.
After two decades, cumulative dividends total $5,500 versus $34,000 invested, nearly a 16% recovery of capital purely from income. Yield on cost reaches 2.07%.
At year 25, the income engine takes over. The portfolio’s annual dividend of $1,152 is greater than total contributions to date ($40,000), and cumulative dividends exceed $9,852.
By year 30, the DRIP snowball is in full force. Yearly income reaches $1,864, cumulative dividends total $16,922, and the DRIP portfolio value stands at $781,536, compared with $729,685 if dividends weren’t reinvested.
How we estimate these numbers
We use the latest calculator inputs for CHE, price $436.29, dividend per period $0.60 (4×/year), along with historic growth assumptions: price growth 12.69% and dividend growth 9.60% annually.
We simulate month by month for 30 years. Every month, a $100 contribution is added and converted to shares at that month’s price. Dividends are paid roughly evenly across the year based on the dividend frequency; in the DRIP path, each payout immediately buys additional shares at the then-current price. In the No‑DRIP path, dividends accrue as cash. Prices grow using a monthly rate derived from the annual price growth. Dividends per share increase once per year at the annual dividend growth rate.
This model isn’t investment advice; it’s a simple, transparent framework that illustrates how reinvesting dividends can accelerate both income and total return over time.
